Markedly dif- ferent from the old Fordhook in that the pods are concentrated not only in regard to position but also in time of reaching maturity. The beans make an excellent product either canned or frozen. The plants are stocky, without tendrils, and very prolific. Can be harvested and vined similarly to Hender- son's Bush. The seeds are slightly smaller than regular Ford- hook but somewhat thicker: 20 per oz. 334 71
